ISLAMABAD: The Government of Pakistan has finalized a new Energy Vehicle Policy aimed at accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across the country.
This initiative is designed to replace petrol and diesel-powered vehicles with electric alternatives, as part of a national strategy to reduce environmental pollution and fossil fuel reliance.
Officials state that this transition will play a key role in cutting carbon emissions and improving air quality nationwide.
Transition Away From Fuel-Based Vehicles
The policy sets a structured roadmap to reduce the use of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
It encourages both the production and sale of EVs, aiming to reshape Pakistan’s automotive industry toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Authorities expect the plan to yield long-term environmental and economic benefits.
One major outcome could be a reduction in the national petroleum import bill, easing the country’s financial burden.
Dedicated Licensing Framework for EV Sector
To support this transition, a licensing framework will be implemented for EV manufacturers and sellers.
The framework will ensure that all stakeholders operate within a regulated environment and meet compliance standards.
This system is expected to foster investment, innovation, and structured growth in the local EV industry.
Officials also view the policy as a vital step toward achieving national energy efficiency targets and fulfilling international environmental commitments.
